Tony can't grin (even if he wasn't wearing the helmet), so he raises his little plastic champagne bottle in a salute instead.
(His movements are awkward and jerky. He doesn't seem to notice this himself.)
"Well, you don't really look much like the Scarlet Witch anyway. Missing a few parts, got a few extra ones, no doubt. This--" He points the bottle towards the ingredients and cauldron. "--isn't going to end in explosions, is it? Because I'm off-duty. You'll have to find someone else to save the world."
Eighteen year old Cepheus Malfoy-Ausa, in contrast, looks quite muggle now that he's shrugged off his (Lunar style) work robes. Boy was the family business/continuing education tough.
It has such a hold on him that when he catches the whiff of said strange looking ingredients, he almost wonders if he walked back into the shop.
Then he notices the nearby wizard and, though they may be from different universes, it's hard to not notice.
"Hey, Potter the Younger," he says amicably. "Got some homework?"

(Which, um. It very well may be heading that direction.)
"You save the world, then? In your - um. Little spaceship or something?"

"Um." He shifts his focus to Cepheus, then nods. "Yeah. A report I've got to do for Potions."

"S'all right," he replies. "I think I've pretty much - um. Finished. The potion-making part of it, anyway."
He peers at it.
